Dedicated respiratory therapist with extensive pediatric and adult care experience.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Respiratory Therapist with a robust background in both pediatric and adult care, having worked in various clinical settings for over two decades. My journey began at the University of Rochester, where I honed my skills in pulmonary function testing, stress testing, and managing complex ventilator patients. My commitment to patient care is evident in my work with both pediatric outpatients and long-term adult patients, where I have consistently delivered high-quality respiratory therapy.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in sleep studies, CPAP and BIPAP titration, and asthma education. I have served in multiple roles, including as a charge tech at the Pediatric Sleep Center, where I led teams in performing sleep studies and managing patients with tracheostomies and ventilators. My clinical expertise is complemented by my active certifications in CPR, ACLS, and PEARS, ensuring that I am always prepared to provide the best care possible.
I am passionate about improving patient outcomes and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in respiratory therapy. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to a team that prioritizes patient-centered care and innovation in respiratory health.
